StepMates

For couples who love a little competition

Walk together. A little kindness.

StepMates quietly compares your steps with your partner's each day. Whoever walks less does one small, sweet kindness — make the tea, do the dishes, plan a walk. No money. No gifts. Just the two of you, moving more.

Questions

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No — your iPhone counts steps on its own. A Watch just makes it more accurate, and the two sync automatically.

Is it really free of money stuff between us?

Yes — money never changes hands between partners. No money forfeits, no gifts, no betting. Tasks are small, free kindnesses, and mercy is always free. (On a really stuck day you can buy an optional Skip Pass — it goes to the app, never to your partner, and your partner always sees it.)

Who can see my steps?

Only your partner. Your data isn't shared with anyone else or sold.

What if I have a rough day?

Tap "Forgive today" and the kindness is cancelled, no questions asked. Mercy first.

Can we change the task?

Yes — either of you can ask to reroll today's kindness, and it changes once you both agree (within 12 hours).
